That's why I think china will fly bombers through Myanmar airspace if there's any sort of blockade in Malacca. Chinese influence in the country is just too strong to ignore.At least the rebels control territories in the Shan state will be free for Chinese warplanes to fly But that's for a different topic lol china can also do that through laos and Cambodia to South china sea as well but it's pretty much a Chinese lake at this point. There are options On the table to think about. Having rebel groups on china side is a huge leverage china can use for future negotiation with the junta lol. It's good to keep the balance but to have a couple militia groups ready to take china order when needed is a bonus imo.Something like what Iran is doing. U can funneling weapons to kuki , United liberation front of assam , and maoist people liberation through KIA or other rebel groups in myanmar but they are too tiny in comparison a small rebel group in Myanmar consist of at least 10 thousand strong lol u see how a small group of rebels in Kashmir can inflict massive damage to Indian securities in the region.
I need to make a point here. Don't try to analyze China's possible strategies with the logic of Western thinking.
As a result of the colonial era, English is known as the dominant language of the world. Many countries whose mother tongue is not English also use English as an official language. This phenomenon has made English thinking logic widespread in the world. Please note that we are talking about thinking logic here, not position. There are some countries whose political stance is not the same as that of the United States or the United Kingdom, but their logic of thinking is still the logic of thinking in English.
On PDF, there are Pakistanis or Indians who do not like the US or the UK, but as you can see from their statements, their political stance is still based on English thinking logic. This is a difference caused by linguistic and cultural environment and cannot be avoided.
China started universal education in English in the 1980s. But English is not the official language of China. The vast majority of Chinese people have a very abstract level of English. For example, my English level. I can use a lot of professional software in an all-English environment, and I can fully read professional technical books in all-English, but I can't use English to chat with my friends on PDF. When I go to other countries, I have to take a translator with me or use translation software. This is a Chinese characteristic.
Therefore, China's attitude and way of dealing with international issues cannot be analyzed by English thinking logic.
China is still centered on its own economic construction at present and for a long time to come. It will not have much willingness to intervene in disputed affairs in other regions. China is a member of the P5 and this status makes it necessary for China to have some activities at the diplomatic level. But China will not use some practical actions that will affect the situation of international disputes, unless it has seriously affected China's own interests.
If you want to analyze China's strategy on Burma and Malacca, you need to know some history first.

@UKBengali No one in China is discussing the Rohingya issue. We know absolutely nothing about anything there. I do not even know whether the Rohingya belong to Myanmar or Bangladesh or India.
